SEASON NOTES: Receivers THE GOOD LIFE WR Dominick Goodman notched 147 catches for 1,267 yards and 24 touchdowns in 17 games played this season. He also carried the ball six times for 13 net yards and three rushing touchdowns. Goodman led Cleveland in receptions this season. His 27 total touchdowns for 152 total points were also the most on the team. Goodie also recorded 34 kick returns for 613 yards and one 20-yard field goal return. Goodman finished out the regular season ranking fourth in the league in receptions per game, averaging 8.7 catches per matchup. He ranked tenth in the AFL in kick return average, with an average of 18.0 yards per return. Goodman broke his own single-game franchise mark for receptions by recording 18 against the Iowa Barnstormers in Week 12, resulting in 131 yards and a touchdown. He also set another franchise record that same night when he collected 20 yards on a missed field goal return, besting the previous team-high of 15. Goodman won a team-high four AFL Weekly Awards this season: J. Lewis Small Playmaker of the Week for Weeks 3 and 12 and Cutters Catch of the Week for Weeks 7 and 14, when he reeled in an over-the-board touchdown reception for 17 yards and 10 yards, respectively. IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL WR Thyron Lewis, who played his third season with the Gladiators in 2013, led Cleveland’s offense in their last matchup with six catches for 111 yards and four touchdowns. Lewis appeared in all 18 games for the Gladiators this season and registered 97 catches for 1,430 yards and 26 touchdowns. He ranks just behind fellow WR Dominick Goodman for tops on the team in scoring. Lewis finished the season averaging 79.4 receiving yards per game, the highest on the team. He also led the team in average yards per catch with 14.7 per reception. Lewis tied with WR Carlese Franklin for the longest reception this season. Both reeled in a 47-yard catch; Franklin nabbed his June 15 at Orlando and Lewis pulled it in for a big score on July 20 versus Orlando. T-Lew also recorded 10 kick returns for 47 yards total on the season. RUN THIS TOWN WR Carlese Franklin pulled in nine catches for 123 yards and a touchdown in Cleveland’s last game against Utah on July 27. He also returned three kickoffs for 37 yards. Franklin, whose first appearance for Cleveland this season came on May 18 versus San Antonio, notched 54 catches for 663 yards and nine touchdowns in 10 games played. Franklin also carried the ball eight times for 35 net yards and one rushing touchdown. After taking over as Cleveland’s go-to kick returner, Franklin returned 46 kicks for 841 yards and one touchdown, the only kick return score for the Gladiators this season. Franklin also returned one missed field goal for ten yards. Franklin finished the regular season ranking ninth in the league in kick return average, with an average of 18.3 yards per return. Franklin collected 1,549 total yards in his 10 games played for an average of 154.9 per matchup, ranking him sixth in the AFL in average all-purpose yards per game. BOYS ‘ROUND HERE WR Jonathan Wilson played in nine games before an injury caused him to sit out Weeks 12-19. Wilson notched 37 catches for 421 yards and 10 touchdowns on the season. He also carried the ball twice for 12 yards. Wilson also recorded 4.5 total sacks in his nine appearances (two solo, five assisted). WR Cody Pearcy made his first appearance for Cleveland versus the Iowa Barnstormers in Week 12. In eight games played this season, he recorded eight catches for 80 yards and three touchdowns. He also notched three kick returns for 29 yards and recovered a fumble for a touchdown. Pearcy also tallied eight solo and one assisted tackle (8.5 total) on the season. SEASON NOTES: Defense GREAT WALL OF LJ DB LaRoche Jackson led all Cleveland defenders this season with 75 solo and 20 assisted tackles (85.0 total), including 2.5 tackles for a loss of 4 yards, in his 14 games played this season. Jackson also led the Gladiators in fumbles recovered, having notched four on the season. He notched a single-game team-high 11 tackles against the Philadelphia Soul on June 29. He also recorded five interceptions for a total of 52 yards, nine pass break-ups and two forced fumbles. Jackson finished the season a solid fourth in the league in average tackles per game, with 6.1 per matchup. He also ranked fourth in the league in average fumbles recovered per game with 0.3. Jackson earned league recognition when he was nominated for AFL MVP of the Week for his performance during Week 14. In Cleveland’s loss to Jacksonville that week, LJ notched three interceptions for 41 yards, one of which he returned for a 32-yard touchdown. In the game, Jackson also notched four solo and six assisted tackles (7.0 total), including 0.5 tackles for a loss of one yard, a forced fumble that he subsequently recovered and one pass break-up. THE NEW NORMAN DB Marrio Norman, who was assigned to Cleveland’s roster on May 7 after being reassigned by the Orlando Predators, also proved to be a dominant force on the Gladiators defense this season. In Cleveland’s last game of the season, Norman tallied three interceptions and six total tackles. In just 12 games played, Norman finished the season leading the Gladiators in interceptions, with seven for 70 total yards on the season, including one for a 54-yard pick six. Norman recorded 41 solo and 17 assisted tackles (49.5 total), including 1.5 tackles for a loss of two yards. He led all Cleveland defenders in pass break-ups with 11 on the season, and recovered one fumble for nine yards. Norman also notched one catch for eight yards. CAN’T TOUCH THIS DB Lenny Wicks finished second on the team in tackles, recording 56 solo and 18 assisted for a total of 65.0 tackles in his 12 games played this season. Wicks also tallied nine pass break-ups, two forced fumbles, two interceptions for 20 yards total and one fumble recovered for a two-yard touchdown. Wicks finished the season ranking 11th amongst all AFL defenders in average tackles per game with 5.4 per matchup. Wicks was awarded the league’s Cutters Catch of the Week in Week 6 for his over-the-wall interception to end the first half in Cleveland's 57-40 loss to the Utah Blaze. He finished the game with 9.5 tackles. WE CAN’T STOP DB Joe Phinisee, who returned for his fourth season in Cleveland after being acquired in a trade with the Chicago Rush on May 15, finished the season with 40 solo and 11 assisted tackles (45.5 total), including one tackle for a loss of one yard, in his 11 appearances this season.

  • Sport Fan Team Identification Formation in Mid-Level Professional Sport
    Sport Fan Team Identification Formation in Mid-Level Professional Sport P. BRIAN GREENWOOD , MICHAEL A. KANTERS & JONATHAN M. CASPER ABSTRACT Team identification, the degree to which an individual feels psychologi­ cally linked to a team, has been a focal point in studies of sport fans and sport spectatorship (e.g. Fink et al., 2002; Jones, 1997; Wann & Branscombe, 1993; Wann & Dolan, 1994; Wann & Schrader, 1997). Although the development of team identification has been examined extensively in established sport markets, the purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between sport fan team identification and motivations for initially becoming a fan of a new mid-level professional sport in a new market. A convenience sample of spectators (N=/351) at an American Arena Football League (AFL) game completed a survey designed to identify and measure this relationship. A simultaneous multiple regression analysis revealed significant and positive predictive value for team identification from the following reasons for becoming a fan: parents and/or family (b=/.125, p B/.05), born and/or live in area (b=/.210, p B/.001), players and/or coaches (b=/.411, p B/.001), and tailgating and party atmosphere (b=/.123, p B/.05). The results have practical marketing implications for mid-level professional sport franchises (i.e. Women’s National Basketball Associa­ tion, NFL-Europe, Major League Soccer) and highlight the need for additional research across the professional sport spectrum, as franchises in these leagues struggle for market share against competing sport and entertainment options. Introduction As the face of professional sport continues to evolve around the globe, the need for research on the consumers of sport products and services has never been more important.

  • Indoor Football League Arizona Rattlers
    WELCOME 2019 River Kings Media Guide A new era of Indoor football In June of 2018, the Cedar Rapids Titans were purchased by a new ownership group led by LA-based businessman Roy Choi and his New York-based colleague Matt Stone. The upcoming year will be the team’s eighth season of operations as a part of the Indoor Football League. As a part of the transition of ownership, the organization brought on new management with the intention to refocus the team’s commitment to Cedar Rapids. We identified three primary goals as part of the relaunch: put a competitive team on the field, provide a high-quality sports entertainment experience at the U.S. Cellular Center for the fan base, and focus their energy on the community that supports the team. In addition to their updated mission, the team decided to take on a re-brand of the organization to draw a clear and concise line that this is an entirely new group of owners and staff with the intention to be great stewards of the community, the best partners they can be for their sponsors, and to compete on the field and in the community in an effort to become the best local sports organization in Eastern Iowa. From the moment you walk into the US Cellular Center you can expect an exciting experience on game nights. Whether you are a first time guest, a season ticket holder, or part of a group, we invite you to expereince the hard-hitting, high scoring action of indoor football with us this season as we begin a new chapter in our franchise’s history.
